%X Prompted by an experience while on a student placement in the United States, where sexual harassment was not responded to appropriately in professional supervision, the article focuses on female practitioners¡¯ accounts of such harassment. Initially, the wider context for sexual harassment is furnished by a brief overview of the definition of sexual harassment, the legal context and responses in the Republic of Ireland. The focus then shifts to a small-scale empirical project garnering perceptions. The study is clearly preliminary and tentative, yet it illuminates important findings relating to the sexual harassment of female social workers across professional workspaces
